Southern-style luxury in Nashville's heart, next to the Grand Ole Opry
This majestic Nashville favorite is known for its extraordinary service and unique interior. Glass atriums house nine acres of lush gardens, winding rivers and rushing waterfalls in this smoke-free indoor paradise. Enjoy award-winning fare at Old Hickory Steakhouse Restaurant, housed inside the replica of an antebellum-style mansion, or unwind at Jack Daniel's Saloon, which tips its hat to Tennessee sipping whiskey. And no visit to Music City USA would be complete without a trip to the Grand Ole Opry, which is conveniently located right next door.

Highlights
  • Located in the heart of Nashville
  • Unique interior of lush gardens, rivers and waterfalls under a smoke-free glass atrium
  • Next door to the Grand Ole Opry

Southern Hospitality At It's Best!

I started working in hospitality in 1998 at this hotel at the front desk. I wanted to bring my wife here while we were in TN to show her this amazing property. She was amazed at the entire experience, from the check in, dining at The Cascades, fitness center and most of all, the attentive staff in the 'Consider It Done' department. My wife left her iPod in the fitness center, which was later turned into lost and found. After reporting it missing, we received a call about 30 minutes later informing us that they had found it. With such a ginormous property, it was absolutely the best news of the day. I can say nothing but great things about Gaylord Opryland. Thank you for the wonderful experience. We'll definitely be back in the near future.

Outside pool

We were disappointed the outside pool bar & grill were not opened. There were lots of people wondering why it wasn't opened since it was the weekend and the temperature was in the 90's.

very nice

Iv walked through the hotel many times but never got to stay there. I was very pleased with the room and the staff. I proposed to my fiance in the hotel so I thought it would be nice to spend our wedding night there and our room happened to over look the spot I proposed.

You Don't Get What You Pay For - Way Too Expensive

We stayed at Gaylord Opryland for 3 nights in April. On top of the room which was around $180 per night, we also had to pay $20 per day to park our vehicle, plus $18 per day resort fee. They tell me the resort fee covers access to the spa and gym facilities, internet service, the wall street journal online and 2 bottles of water per day. The first day we parked our car near one of the entrances, but the last 2 days we had to park in the overflow parking lot which was approximately 1/4 mile from the entrance. Parking and use of the facilities should be included in the fee to stay there. We thought we'd take the shuttle downtown only to find their advertised "free shuttle" only includes shuttle to the Opryland and Gen Jackson showboat which we could walk to. On the Gaylord web page advertising all of their services, they advertise all of these things but fail to tell you there's a fee attached to just about anything you want from them. We were ripped off....

Close to Perfection!

I spent two nights at the Opryland Resort. The only reason I did not give this Resort 5 stars was for the resort and parking fees added on. We did not access water bottles in room, online newspaper service, internet service or local phone calls, but you are still charged a $18.00 resort fee per day. Also, I believe the $20.00 parking fee is a little high. Other than these two complaints, the resort is perfect. Clean, friendly, I couldn't as for anything more except for the extra fees tacked on.

25th anniversary

When we first checked in our room was located on the 1st floor not a problem, the problem was the window did not open for fresh moving air, short of a panic attack we went back to the gal who checked us in, Barbara, and with no questions got the okay to change us to a room that the door opened to moving air. An upgrade as a matter of fact which was very nice. We had a wonderful time. Our meal at Findley's was very good, our service form Stacy was outstanding. Thank you

Fantastic weekend trip!

They were so helpful to us, we were drenched to the skin after a Jimmy Buffett concert downtown and they quickly helped us dry our jeans and shoes in time for checkout on Sunday. They also moved us up one floor at our request so that we could enjoy the balcony in the 2nd floor room. We stayed in the Cascades garden area and it was very tropical and green, amazing!
